I was wondering if I let a mushroom grow til its spores start too drop will that allow another flush? I mean cant I keep the fruits coming forever if I treat em right? If not how can I reuse my casings? Also if I dont have a light directly above my casing will the pins start coming out on the sides? I have my casings in a carboard box and im just letting them get their light from good ole mr sunshine.

Letting the spores drop onto the casing will not germinate them and continue with successive grows on the same substrate. Once all the nutes are gone, the spores won't do jack. You can help with further flushes (of the same grow) by dunking though. Once the nutes are all used up and you're flushed out, just chunk em outside and start up an outdoor bed. As for lighting, indirect sunlight will work, but do not give them direct sunshine... GL bro

It depends on the light you're using. If its too intense it'll start drying things out. Just keep an eye on them, and if they start drying out because of the light, the switch to something less intense. You don't really need a growlight or anything, in fact a nightlight will work, or even indirect light from your growroom if the lid is transparent or not completely opaque... GL bro
